Tremors in the night

[PrinceMyshkin]

There are no doubt more chilling thoughts

but I’d rather not think them, thank you.

Wordsworth texting on a Blackberry? Ew. I don't believe he could be a twitterer, either. Same with Walt W. How would they ever constrict themselves to 146 characters?

I looove this! "Catchy" indeed! And might this have something to do with a particular unwelcome advertisement on a web page?

Very crisp poem indeed :nod:

That's what I fear: If things like Twitter and texting are going to create a generation with a total lack of poets? I mean, minimalism can still survive, but so many people today are so inexperienced enough in literature.
